Here are those addresses: 1) Centre for Kentish Studies County Hall Maidstone ME14 1XQ Tel 01622-694363 Fax 01622-694379 2) Caterbury City and Catherdral Archives The Precincts Canterbury CT1 2EH TEl 01227-463510 Fax 01227-762897 3) East Kent ARchives Centre Enterprise Business Park Honeywood Road, Whitfield Dover CT16 3EH Tel 01304-829306 Fax 01304-829306 apparently tel and fax are same number; I'd write for sure! 4) Medway ARchives and Local Studies Centre Civic Centre Strood, Rochester ME2 4AU Tel 01634-732714 Fax 01634-297060 Many record offices are now part of the County ARchives REsearch Network (CARN), where a reader's ticket obtained at one record office is valid for admission to others. You can try these for now if you wish, by for a comprehensive list of British record repositories, see "Record Repositories in Great Britian, Jeremy Sumner Wycherley Gigson's Record Offices: How to Find Then" 8th edition. Those to whom you write will probably be able to direct you to more helpful places to write, but to get started, these I would suggest. My resources come from "Genealogical Research in England's Public Record Office: A Guide for North Americans" by Judith Prowse and Simon Fowler ISBN# 0806316322 Rhonda Warmack Houston
